How very rude. I hope it was a bad shot from a golf course not some idiot hitting riders as they go by on purpose.
Hope your bottom feels better soon.
Stay away from stray golf balls from now on, we want to see you in one piece at LRRH.

Mean people s*&k. Bikerhen, I'm glad you are OK, aside from the bruise. Thank goodness he didn't startle you and make you wipe out.

Maybe he was trying to slow you down - coz ya know - you were going too fast and it was intimidating him??
Seriously, it amazes me why people throw Anything at runners/cyclists. I have never understand what the motivation and/or enjoyment is out of behaving in that manner - and I hope I Never do! Did you get DH to massage it for you??
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

I ride by alot of golf courses and I ru the day a stray ball will hit me. Thank goodness I wear a helmet. I'm sure the shock of getting hit will scare me off my bike so I live in fear... be afraid, very, very afraid!

Grrrr... some people
!!! I got hit in the head with a golf ball when I was a little kid by teenagers who were playing a mean game of catch and didn't know how to throw or catch. Those things really hurt! It is amazing how some people have no concept of anything...

Bruised
That golf ball came from a car, not the golf course. I was more interested to find out what hit me, than chasing the ba$tards down. Should have gone after them though, they would have had to stop at the next light and there was a sheriff there giving someone a ticket.
My DH said I should've told the sheriff, but short of dropping my pants to show the welt I figured there wasn't much I could do. I only had a vague description of the car. Live and learn I guess. I do have a beautiful bruise though. I'd post a picture but that just seem wrong on so many levels.
